is there a way to clean and compile only changed classes when working with mapstruct and maven? For example, in my project I have lots of mapstruct interfaces which, once compiled, generates implementations in the target folder. but I need to avoid re-compiling those classes that i didn't change to ensure a fastest build. Thanks in advance.

The recompile of the project didn't run the annotation processor. MapStruct is invoked by the Java compiler and the maven-compiler-plugin is responsible for cleaning up the folder with the generated classes, thus it will go through all mapper interfaces.

Set "Build Automatically" on in your IDE. If you're using Eclipse it's located at the top in "Project".
